How to make Leeks A LA Greque
METHOD:
Wash and trim leeks. Cut into 5 cm (2 in) lengths, then blanch for 2 minutes. Drain and set aside.
Heat 3 tablespoons oil in a large saucepan. Add onion and I tablespoon water and cook gently for 8 minutes. Add tomatoes, garlic, wine, coriander seeds, bay leaf and cayenne pepper. Season with salt and pepper and cook for about 15 minutes, or until tomatoes are pulpy. Add leeks and cook uncovered for 10-15 minutes until tender.
